A Paradox

I made a horrible discovery today while reviewing work on the artificial intelligence programming. It seems Dr. Ali mixed up a file when uploading a program onto a rudimentary robot and discovered that the device displayed the characteristics of what he called "a puppy that was lost in a teleportation experiment weeks ago".

This is unbelievable! Jackie has been hiding the nature of the teleportation experiments from me. What's worse is I know from previous conversations that she knows I would never approve of pursuing this line of experimentation. The societal benefits of teleportation aside, you cannot kill a living being every time you want to send them to another room. The moral and ethical implications of this are horrendous.

I know she has been keeping this information from me. When I searched through the Gravitas database I found nothing to do with these teleportation experiments. It was only because this reference showed up in Dr. Ali's AI paper that I was able to discover what has been happening.

Jackie has to be stopped.

But I know she is beyond reasonable discussion. I hope this is the only thing she is hiding from me, but I fear it is not.

Despite myself, I can't help thinking of the intriguing possiblities this presents for the AI development. It haunts me.

I fear I may be sliding down a slippery slope, at the bottom of which Jackie is waiting for me with open arms.
